 "He that believeth on me, though he were dead, yet shall he live." She has often of late expressed the desire to be at rest.

Preparation OF seaIskins.

There is a popular notion that the
sealskIn as we see it at the turrier's is
Just as it is taken off the animal. Moth
ing, however, could be more contrary
to fact. Few skins are less attractive
than this at first, as the fur Is complete
ly covered and hidden by the dull gray
brown and grizzled overhair. This
mask has, then, to be removed, and this
is an operation requiring very great
amount of patience and skill, with a
consequent increase in price. The I'M
hairing is effected by warmth and
moisture, which softens the roots of the
overhAir and enables it to be pulled out,
or by shaving the inner side very thin.
which cuts off the roots of the hair,
which penetrate deeply, and leaves un-
touched those of the fur, which are very
superficial. Whichever method is en-
ployed, the hair must be taken off uni
formly or the fur will never lie smooth
ly, but always have a rumpled look,
which can never be corrected by any
subsequent treatment. This will ex-
plain to some extent the cause of the
high Irice of sealskin jackets and
cloaks, and also the cause of the differ
ent prices one hears of. as good many
skins are more or less spoiled in the
dressing. Another cause. too, is the
quality of the dye and the workman
ship employed in its use The liquid
color is put on with II brush. and the
points of the standing fur carefully
covered; the skin is then rolled up fur
inside, and then, after a little time,
hung up and dried. The dry dye is
then removed and further coat ap-
piled, dried, removed, and so on till the
requisite shade is obtained. One or
two of these coats are laid on thick
and pressed down to the roots of the
fur, making what is called the ground;
From eight to twelve coats are needed
to procure a good color. No wonder
frst-class sealskin is expensive; it is
Just as true now as ever it was; but
in these days of universal cheap
ness one is apt to forget that if you want
really good thing you must pay g
good price.-AH the Year Round.
